The goal of this project is to develop a backend system to support the reputation system, user profiles, and notification system of Project: Human City. This will involve developing a database, API, logic/algorithms for API interactions and database use, permissions systems, and a security system for user content.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

- A database for the reputation system, user profiles, and notification system.

- An API for the reputation system, user profiles, and notification system.

- Logic/algorithms for API interactions and database use.

- Permissions systems based off of the reputation system, user profiles, and notification system.

- A security system for user content including content reporting, content moderation process, and user blocking.

Final deliverables should include:

- All source code.

- A written report explaining the design process and outcomes.
